Stewardship  and  the  World  Emergency 

The  fourth  of  a series  of  four  programs  on  stewardship  designed 
for  use  in  the  Sunday  school  during  a stewardship  campaign  in  a 
local  church. 

“Say  not  ye,  There  are  yet  four  months,  and  then  cometh  the 
harvest?  Behold,  I say  unto  you.  Lift  up  your  eyes,  and  look 
on  the  fields,  that  they  are  white  already  unto  harvest.”  {John 
4:35). 

This  program  is  to  take  the  place  of  the  usual  opening  service 
in  the  Sunday  school.

unto  him.  Yea,  Lord;  thou  knowest  that  I love  thee.  He  saith 
unto  him.  Feed  my  lambs.  He  saith  to  him  again  a second  time, 
Simon,  son  of  John,  lovest  thou  me?  He  saith  unto  him.  Yea, 
Lord;  thou  knowest  that  I love  thee.  He  saith  unto  him.  Tend 
my  sheep.  He  saith  unto  him  the  third  time,  Simon,  son  of 
John,  lovest  thou  me?  Peter  was  grieved  because  he  said  unto

Lord,  thou  knowest  all  things;  thou  knowest  I love  thee.  Jesus
